BGH THIRSTY THURSDAYS - "YOU'RE NEXT" DRINKING GAME

Here at Bloody Good Horror we spend much of our time talking about good movies and bad movies alike, and picking apart the things that place titles in either category. In horror specifically, there is a beautiful gradient, comprised of everything from "so bad it's good" to "just plain bad." For many movies in this grey area, the viewing experience itself - who you watch it with and how - can be as important as the movie itself. In that tradition, monthly on a Thursday we'll fondly recall one of those kinds of movies that seem made for the loud and alcohol-fueled viewing party, and give you the framework to host a screening of your very own, complete with imbibing instructions!

Note: BGH reminds you to respect the minimum age requirement for drinking in whatever god forsaken hellhole you live in.

I don't want to say that we're superstitious...but just to be on the safe side, we wanted to start the new year off with a good movie. Hey, maybe it will even bring us good luck! Or maybe You're Next was just the next movie selected in our viewer poll. There's really no way to tell. This 2011 film was pretty much hailed as an instant classic when it was released. But here we are years later and there are still fools out there who haven't seen it. So whether this is your second viewing, your third, or first, jump in - and here's a little drinking game to make things interesting!

Rules:

1. Cheers to a genre legend -Mr. Larry Fessenden himself in one of his many cameos.

2. Drink for every totally gnarly kill.

3. Have a sip whenever you jump without a jump scare.

4. Another Delaware* native! Drink when you see Ty West.

5. Finish your drink for our final girl!

*Sorry, since your fearless game-maker is a Delaware native yourself, these rules are sort of a given.
